This project was inspired by the recent disappearance of Latin and Classical Studies from many secondary Catholic schools located within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Latin has always been the official language of the Roman Catholic Church and has had a significant impact on Catholic education through the centuries. Now, however, less than two thirds of Catholic schools in Philadelphia and its suburbs even offer Latin, with only 4 out of 34 still requiring students to study the language. Synthesizing history, pedagogical theory, and first hand accounts of local educators, this project focuses on the past and present relationship between Catholic, more specifically Jesuit, education and Classical Studies. The Jesuits have a long history of preserving and promoting the humanities in their educational institutions, especially Classical Studies. Due to a variety of practical and theological motivations, the Jesuits have always emphasized the study of Latin and Greek in their schools, especially the works of Cicero. This was evident to me when I interviewed a contemporary local Jesuit educator, who emulates the traditional Jesuit pedagogical tradition founded in the sixteenth century. The research presented in this project was ultimately conducted in hopes of gleaning and suggesting methods and practices that might remedy the current situation of Latin education and, thus, it recommends several methods currently utilized by Jesuit educators in the Philadelphia area.
